Question

Translate and solve:the Quotient of a number and 6 minus 3 is 1

Answer 1

Let x be the unknown number. Then the quotient of a number and 6 is:

`(x)/(6)`

To this be substract 3:

`(x)/(6)-3`

Now, this is 1, then:

`(x)/(6)-3=1`

Now we solve the equation,

`\begin{gathered} (x)/(6)-3=1 \\ (x)/(6)=1+3 \\ (x)/(6)=4 \\ x=4\cdot6 \\ x=24 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, x=24.
